@AriWasserman We’re going to pretend my last few weeks of picks shows didn’t happen.

“Hey Gemini, if Florida starts its backup QB, how can we still lose?”

[Brandon Marcello @bmarcello]

Texas is all in on AI. The school is launching Bevo Lab, a 25,000-square-foot sports AI hub, and coaches are already quizzing Google’s Gemini about opponents.

@kirkgoldsberry: “The biggest mystery here is why did it take so freaking long for this to happen at a university?”

[Andy Staples @AndyStaples]

This game just got a lot more interesting.

NEW: Mississippi State QB Kamario Taylor continues to trend in the right direction and is expected to play against Oklahoma on Saturday, @Clowfb and @PeteNakos report.

NEW: Oregon State star true freshman WR Jesse Legree will return to Corvallis for the 2027 season, @PeteNakos, @SWiltfong_ and @Hayesfawcett3 report🦫

Legree is leading the nation in receiving yards (1,040) through week 7.

@CathVSConf @On3 Yes. That’s the point of the story.

Only a few could thrive as independents before. The circumstances are changing, and that number might be a lot bigger soon.

[Andy Staples @AndyStaples]

@ChefMaal7 @AriWasserman Nobody said there were 25 better.

But if you include everyone on Miami’s level and above, you get 20-25 that would be capable of going independent.

That would shake up everything.

@maleko1983 @FletcherCoxS @AriWasserman Why do people still do this?

🚨 NEW SHOW 🚨

🐯 LSU's returning STARS vs Auburn, @BengalTigerOn3 + @AuburnOn3

🤔 Is John Mateer OU's best option at QB? @SoonerScoop

🙌🏼 Would Miami REALLY go Independent? @CaneSport

With @AndyStaples & @AriWasserman:

[Pete Nakos @PeteNakos]

The QB transfer portal could feature significant movement. Schools and agents are already gauging the market.

"I have a guy who is currently starting in the SEC, and I couldn’t tell you what is going to happen in that quarterback room next year."

@slmandel It’s the same stuff Dan Hurley drinks before every game.

[Andy Staples @AndyStaples]

@TB424 It’s the model the sport has always had, and yet somehow it has persisted.

Some teams have more money than others.

Always have.

[Andy Staples @AndyStaples]

@azimmerman512 Let's see about that. But Day's history certainly suggests he's very capable of it.

[Andy Staples @AndyStaples]

Very curious to see how Ryan Day and Arthur Smith adjust the offense around a QB with a different skill set (who will still be able to throw to No. 4).

Gary Patterson and the USC D will have to prep blind, so it’s in Ohio State’s best interest to lean into the differences.

[Andy & Ari On3 @AndyAriOn3]

🚨 NEW SHOW 🚨

🌰 Ohio State's new QB1: Luke Fahey or Tavien St. Clair? @LettermenRow

🏟️ Will Alabama BOUNCE BACK vs Texas A&M? @BOL_On3

🦅 Iowa's QB1: Jeremy Hecklinski, @HawkeyeReport

🐢 Mike Locksley's replacement at Maryland?

@clevelandteams Bingo. I wonder if they also sprinkle in some speed option. Allows you to force the D to defend triple option principles without having to learn to block the triple.

[Andy Staples @AndyStaples]

@checkmateblaze @slmandel @TheAthletic You assume players and teams won't eventually come to terms and resume playing.

People don't just walk away from a multibillion dollar business. That assumes a level of stupidity that simply doesn't exist. Someone will always figure out a way to keep the money flowing.

[Andy Staples @AndyStaples]

Another satisfied customer...

[Joey Champs @j_logoat]

@AndyStaples you have the worst college football takes that I’ve ever heard

[Are Publix Chicken Tender Subs On Sale? @PubSubs_on_sale]

No.

Boar’s Head Italian subs are $9.49 (10/22-10/28).

[Andy Staples @AndyStaples]

@checkmateblaze @slmandel @TheAthletic As long as there’s money in it (fans), they’ll put out a product.

So yes, all businesses should study their customers’ behavior.

Notice I didn’t say “do what customers say.”

Because their actions are always more important than their words.
